White bigfoots (bigfeet?) are nothing new, if you look at the old literature. They pop up occasionally, even in the hot South where white fur wouldn’t do an animal much good as concealment.

He claimed that my uncle Hubert, Aunt Margaret, and Aunt Evelyn saw a creature they called the White Thing. This was in a place called Devils Kitchen, not too far from Buchanan proper. I was told that Uncle Hubert was driving a wagon back from town, after getting provisions, and my aunts, just girls at the time, were playing in the back. All of them heard a shrill, almost woman like scream, and were terrified. It was my aunts that noticed it first. The “White Thang” as they all called it, ran out of the woods, on 2 legs, and started chasing the wagon. The girls screamed with horror, and at this point, my uncle saw it. He started madly driving the mule, as apparently this thing was gaining on them. The chase persisted for about a 1/4 mile, until they made it home. My uncle was yelling, and apparently my grandpa came out with a shotgun and fired a few rounds, at which point the creature was frightened off.

I don’t normally give too much thought to this kind of thing, but I was repeatedly told the exact same story, over the years, by my dad, and all of those involved. They never saw the thing, again, but said for years to come, that they heard that same shrill scream, on occasion. Other families in the area also claimed to have similar encounters. One interesting final thought: It was believed that the thing live in a series of caves in the Devil’s Kitchen area. I was told that they were all afraid to enter the caves, as children. However, as adults, some brave souls ventured as far as the cave mouth, and it was littered with animal bones.

True or not, my family were a deeply Christian clan and were not prone to lying. Regardless of the truth of the matter, they believed what they said.

Take Care,

P.S. Any more word on the creature with the trident shaped tail from your recent Monster Quest appearance?
